Sinossi
Prefazione di Daniele Del Giudice
Stefan Zweig scrisse la Novella degli scacchi nel 1941, pochi mesi prima di suicidarsi insieme alla moglie. In questo racconto lo stato d’animo di abbandono e di rinuncia alla lotta è prefigurato nella sconfitta di colui che rappresenta la sensibilità, l’intelligenza e la cultura da parte di un ottuso uomo-robot. Come terreno dello scontro tra questi due protagonisti, Zweig sceglie una scacchiera. Sembra quasi che, dallo sfacelo dell’Europa, non voglia salvare neppure il gioco degli scacchi: non più prerogativa di talentuosi e appassionati giocatori, esso è dominato da «campioni» come Czentovic, rozzo per quanto prodigioso accumulo di facoltà meccaniche.

Chess Story by Stefan Zweig It's a brilliant novella written just a year before the author's death by suicide. The story is mainly about a man tortured to near insanity during WWII and mastered the game while attempting to survive torture by the Nazis. That was incredibly well written.

shameful confession time: i don't know how to play chess. but i do know how to read. and that, in this case, has to count for something. this is incisive and effective in both of its purposes: as a book, and as a goodbye. stefan zweig's finale is a searing condemnation of fascism that uses its few page Leggi tutto

”My pleasure in playing became a desire to play, a mania, a frenzy, which permeated not only my waking hours but gradually my sleep too. Chess was all I could think about, chess moves, chess problems were the only form my thoughts could take; sometimes I awoke with a sweaty brow and understood that Leggi tutto
